PerishabIe Products and Tariff.

To the Editor of the INDIANAPOLIS Jou
When it is objected that to take the tariff off
of imported foreign goods would reduce wages
in this country so much as the duty, and there
fore destroy our manufacturing industries. it
is replied by free traders that 'if manufactur
ing won't pay in competition. let people
turn to pursuits that will" For answer to the
inquiry, what would become of home mar
kers if the millions employed in man ufacturing
were driven to agriculture. the answer has
been, "Sell in foreign markets where manufact
uring will still be DONE" Do these theorists
never reflect that the perishible and non-exportas
BILE products of the orchards gardens and farms
of this country annually amount in value {,
several times the annual sum of the entire tariff
duties imports And these the most
valuable agricultural products OF this country.
1t would seem TO be important enough to main
tain protection in order to provide market for
our psrishable products. which cannot be ex-
ported, since they annually pay several times
the tariff duties. Even ON this single low ground
of consideration there is abundant reason to
preserve the principle of protection. But there
are higher reasons, and they ought to be sufh-

straw Board Factory at Kokomo.


An establishment for the manufacture of
straw boards has just been completed at Koko-
mo- The plant cost $3.50, 900, and the factory
will give employment to about 100 men. The
Kokomo Gazette-Tribune thus describes the
process:
s'The process OF manufacturing straw boards is
somewhat complex. but full of interest. The
straw is conveyed to the upper floor of the south
extremity of the main building by means of the
straw-carrer. This carrier delivers it to the
chutes through which it passes into the rotary
boilers below. These boilers are immense, their
diameter being fourteen feet They are sup
ported substantial piers, and adapted to
rotary motion. They are five in number, and
their purpose is to cook and bleach the straw
This is effected by steaming it. Lime is used to
facilitate the process, for which purpose 100
bushels are consumed daily. The cooking pro-
requires twelve hours. The material is
another carrier, which transports 1t into three
pits in the stock From these receptacles
it is carried over still another car
rier into the beater-room The in,
straw are called heaters. OF these there are
eight. They curious machines and some
what complex in their structure Their pur
pose is to reduce the straw to fibrous mass
suited to enter the straw board machine. This
accomplished. the material passes through an
opening into watts in the basement, whence it is
pumped into four small stuff chests situated at
the mouth OF the great machine. From these
Ghosts the mass, now ready for the straw board
machine proper passes through galvanized pipes
to the rollers on which it spreads out into
sheets. There are four Of these large revolving
cylinders which receive the mass and spread it
into sheets The straw board, now formed,
passes between rollers which press the water
out of it. It then passes over felt cloth to the
dryers. There are forty Of these machines
ranged in a SERIES They consist of large re-
vovlng cylinders, adjusted that the
newly made straw board passes through
the entire series, passing over one
cylinder and under the next. and
SO on to the end. These cylinders are heated by
steam, and omplish the drying of the
board at the end of the series of dryers is the
liner. an instrument for lining the straw board
with paper This machine is used only in max
ing the finer qualities of work, such is used
in fine box making. Different colors of paper
are in the store room to line the fine board with
any color that may be desired There is what
is called stack of calenders, five in number, a
machine adapted to finishing the surface of the
board and giving it smoothness and regularity
of finish. The last machines to receive the
product are the cutters. There are two of
these One sllts the hoard lenethwise of any
width desired, and the other cuts crosswiss into
sheets of any size specified. These finished
sheets fall upon table to receive them, and are
arranged for storage"

An Old Veterans Views.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
AS the year 1883 approaches the public mind
is being stirred by the thoughts of the next
presidential election. There seems to be no
question to the Democratic candidate. But
as to the Republican candidate there is such
unanimity Of opinion. Quite a number of dis
tinguished gentlemen proposed, among
them the Hon. j. G. Blaine. 1t is evidently
the duty of the people to investigate the claims
of these men and make their own selection, not
the partisan friends Of any one force a nomi-
nation. AS one Of the people. I have thought
of presenting a few ideas as to the nomination
of Mr. Blaine for the presidency in 1888. For

for the presidency, was previously vexed that
